Undergraduate: Course rule and topic information All course rules are currently under review and new course rules will apply from 2011. As a result topic details may change. Further information on the new course structures will be made available by mid-2010.
Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Electronics)
(BEng(Computer))
N0 NEW STUDENT INTAKE - CONTINUING STUDENTS REFER TO PROGRAM OF STUDY BELOW.
Combined degree programs
BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (COMPUTER AND ELECTRONICS) / BACHELOR OF BUSINESS
The Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Electronics)/Bachelor of Business requires five years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). The course is offered jointly by the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences.
All students enrolling for the first time in either degree will be given the option at enrolment of undertaking the combined degrees program, subject to their meeting also the cut-off score and entry requirements for the other degree.
Eligible students who decline the offer to take up the combined degrees program at enrolment and wish in a subsequent year to enrol in the combined degrees program will be required to apply to SATAC for admission to the other degree. In some cases these students may have to undertake more than 180 units to complete the requirements of the combined degrees program and they are encouraged to seek advice from the relevant course coordinator before applying.
Students who commence, but subsequently do not wish to complete, the combined degrees program may be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Electronics) or the Bachelor of Business programs and to receive credit for some, or all, of the topics already completed.
PROGRAM OF STUDY [November, 2009]
To qualify for the combined award a student must complete 180 units according to the following program of study with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic:
- a Business component containing: a core Business component of 30 units; and
a Business major from List A of the Bachelor of Business course rule, maximum 33 units [see Bachelor of Business entry for further information];
- an Engineering component of 114 units according to the program of study below;
- sufficient other units of electives to make at least 180 units in total.
First Year
36 units comprising:
# A student from a non-English speaking background with an IELTS score of less than 7, or a student who has lived in an English-speaking country for fewer than 5 years may instead do the topic ESOL1703 English as a Second Language 1.
* Students who have completed SACE Stage 2 Mathematical Methods are advised instead to do the topic MATH1131 Mathematics 1M. Students who have achieved a mark of at least 18 in SACE Stage 2 Specialist Mathematics, or at least 6 in International Baccalaureate Mathematics HL may instead do the topics MATH1141 Advanced Mathematics 1A (equivalent to MATH1121) and MATH1142 Advanced Mathematics 1B (equivalent to MATH1122).
